DELIVERY DEVICE FOR WRINGERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 211, 1915..

Application filed August 24,1914. Serial No. 858,384.

To all c072 0172 it may concern:

Be it known that 1, EUGENE D. DUMoND, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Waterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Delivery Devices for \Vringers, of which the following is a specification,

My invention relates to improvements in delivery devices for wringers, and the object of my improvement is to mount upon a washing-machine, a moving belt adapted to cooperate with the rolls of a wringer to receive articles from the wringer and to carry same to a receptacle'therefor.

This object I have accomplished by the means which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and which are described in the specification, herein.

- In the drawings: Figure 1 is aside elevation'of a washing-machine with a wringer' supported thereon, and showing my improved delivery apparatus mounted upon the cover of the washing-machine, parts be ing broken away. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of said washing-machine, wringer, and delivery device.

Similar numerals of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several "leVVS.

The numeral 14 denotes a Washing-machine having a hinged cover 17, and also having a bracket 16- upon whichis secured the'wringer 13 having-the usual pair of rolls supplied with the intermeshing gear Wheels 12 and 11. An idler gear wheel 10 is mounted on the wringer, and meshes with the gear wheel 11. I

The numerals 1 and- 8 denote pairs of spaced uprights integrally connected at 5 and secured to the top of the cover 17. The rollers 2 and (Bare rotatably mounted between opposite ends of the parts5 and carry an endless belt 4. Upon one end of the. roller 2 is secured a gear wheel 3 which meshes with the gear Wheel 10.

The numeral 9 denotes a sloping plate' whose upper end is curved upwardly and having a transverse terminal scrollin which a pintle 7 is fixed with its outwardly and oppositely projecting ends received pivotally in orifices in the uprights 8 just below the roller 6.

Articles passing through said wringer are received on the moving belt 4, carried toward and delivered upon the inclined plate 9 which in turn delivers them to a tub 15 or other receptacle. The idler gear wheel 10 serves to rotate the gear wheel 3 of the device in the proper direction to cause the belt 4to transport articles received thereon to theplate 9. It is obvious that the belt 4 as also other parts of the device, may be constructed of any desired form, dimensions, or materials, without departing from the scope of my invention. Thedevice is swung out of cooperation with the wringer with the cover 17 when the latter is lifted.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. The combination with a wringer having rolls provided with intermeshing gears, of an idler-gear in mesh with one of said gears, a movable support adjacent to said wringer,

rollers pivotally mounted in said support, an

endless belt mounted upon and actuated by said rollers, and a gear-wheel on one roller detachably in mesh with the said idler gearwheel to form clash-gearing therewith.

2. The combination with a wringer having rolls provided with intermeshing gears, of an idler-gear in mesh with one of said gears, a movable support adjacent to said wrin'ger adapted to swing to and from it and having spaced uprights mounted thereon, rollers pivoted in said uprights, an endless belt carrier mounted upon said rollers, one of said rollers carrying a gear-wheel adapted to detachably mesh with said idler gear-wheel to form clash-gearing when the movable support is swung to and fro, and a plate pivotally mounted in an inclined position below the delivery-end of said endless belt.

Signed at Vaterloo, Iowa, this 6th day of Aug. 1914.
